CHURN-POWER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 239,166, dated March22, 1881. Application filed October 26, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

\Be it known that I, THOMAS WELLINGTON HOGSET'I, o't' Edra y, Pocahontascounty, West Virginia, have invented a new and Improved Churn, of whichthe follmving is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved churn whichis simple in construction, can be easily operated, and the working partsof which can be adjusted to be convenient for the operator either whilesitting or standing, and which working parts can be placed asidealtogether when the churn is to be cleaned.

The invention consists in a churn having its dasher-staft' adj ustablypivoted to the outer end of a lever, pivoted at its inner end to a tableor bench, which lever is adjusted by means of a rod pivoted thereto inthe middle, to the lower end of which rod a lever pivoted adjustably inone of the legs of the bench or table is attached, and which rod is alsoi drawn downward by a spring connected there with. By operating theleverpivoted in the leg of the chair or bench the dasher is moved up anddown.

.In the accompairving drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective viewof myimproved churn. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same; and Fig. 3 is a planview of the churn with the cover removed, showing the dasher.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The dasher-staff B of the churn A is provided with a series ofperforations, G 0, near its upper end, and is pivoted to the end of alever, D, by means of a pin, V, passing through one of the perforations(J of the staff B and through a corresponding perforation in the end ofthe lever D. This lever is pivoted at its opposite end to a bench ortable, E, against the opposite recessed end, F, of which the churn" Arests, asshown. A rod, G, is pivoted to the lever D at or near thecenter of the same,

and the lower end of this rodis attached to a spring, H, by a ropeorcord, J, or other device,

which spring H has a tendency to draw the tions, M M, at or near themiddle, is pivoted to the leg N of the table E, which leg N has a seriesof perforations, O 0, thus making the fulcrum of the lever Ll adjustableboth longitudinally and in height. The outer end, P, of the lever Lforms a handle, and theinner end, Q, is pivoted to the lower end of therod G.

The dasher is composed of a series of parallel bars, It R, beveled atthe top and bottom, and held together by a series of like bars, S S,passing through them, as shown.

The operation is as follows: The operator first adjusts thedasher-statt' B in the end of the lever D, either higher or lower,according to the greater or less quantityof mill: in the churn. He thenadjusts the lever L in the leg N according as he desires a greater orless stroke,-and also adjusts it in height ac cording to his position,for he may either sit or stand during the operation. By depressing theouter end, I, of the lever L the churndasher is raised, and as soon asthe lever L is released the spring H forces the da-sherdownward again.The operation is thus a very simple one, and the several adjustmentspermit of setting the apparatus so as to be convenient for any person.

To remove the butter the pins pivoting the lever D to the dasher-statl'B and the rod G are removed, and the lever D is swung back on its pivot,so as to allow the lid of the churn to be removed.

Havingthus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patcut- 1. In a churn, the combination, with thedasher-st-afl' B, of the lever D, the rod Gr, pivoted thereto, the leverL, and the spring H, substantially as herein shown and described, andfor the purpose set forth.

2. In achurn, the combination, with the adjustable dasher-staft B, ofthe lever D, the rod Gr, pivoted thereto, the longitudinally andvertically adjust-able lever L, the spring H, and

the table E, substantially as herein shown and described, and for thepurpose set forth. THOMAS WELLINGTON HOGSETT. Witnesses:
